PATIENT CARE IN THE NICU: COMPLICATIONS DURING AND IMMEDIATELY AFTER DELIVERY
Most babies are born healthy and need no specialized interventions. However, about 10% of newborns do need assistance with breathing or admission to a NICU. This program examines the range of complications that may be present during or immediately after delivery. It begins with a discussion of preparation and initial assessment. It then presents the range of immediate interventions for an unstable baby, focusing on airway, breathing, and cardiovascular interventions. Next, special considerations are discussed including: premature births, diaphragmatic hernia, robin syndrome, choanal atresia, meconium aspiration, spina bifida and hydrocephalus.

After viewing the program, the learner will be able to:
~ Present the planning process, staffing requirements and equipment needs in the delivery room
~ Describe the "golden minute" and the use of the APGAR score in evaluation of the newborn
~ Provide an overview of the immediate interventions that may be required for the compromised newborn
~ Outline the airway/breathing and cardiovascular interventions that may be employed
~ Discuss the potential challenges presented by a premature birth
~ Differentiate the following conditions: diaphragmatic hernia, robin syndrome, choanal atresia, meconium aspiration, spina bifida and hydrocephalus
